Chapter 42: The Promise
When Cen Erniang and Miao Da returned to the gap in the cliff, Cen Erye and the others had already woken up, they happened to have an empty stomach, looking at the golden wild fruit that Cen Erniang and Miao Da were holding in their arms, their eyes were green, and they were not particular, they directly grabbed one with one hand, and sat around to eat it.
The wild fruit is sour, and if it is placed in normal times, they will not look at it more. But the feeling of hunger is really uncomfortable, besides, they all need to eat to replenish the body, and there are many wild beasts in the mountains, although in winter large beasts such as bears and tigers are nested in their holes. But there are times when they come out hungry to forage for food, and there are pursuers after that, even if they eat with sore teeth and heartache, they don't stop chewing.
After all, it's time to stay alive. When you are full, you have the strength to fight a way out.
Ling Feng took two fruits and gave them to Cen Erniang.
Cen Erniang had already eaten it, shook her head to show that she was not hungry, and let her eat by herself. She was thinking about Mama Shen at this moment, she hadn't come to her so late, and most of them were no longer alive. The thought of that amiable grandmother who had traded her life for her life broke her heartbreak! And resentment! She hated that she didn't have a good skill, and she couldn't kill those black-clothed people to avenge her grandmother. She is still worried about her mother, eldest brother and third brother, I wonder if they have escaped from the ambush circle? Are there any injuries?
"Erniang...... Cen Erye gnawed three fruits, his teeth were sore, and he couldn't eat them anymore, he picked up two fruits and put them in his arms, planning to keep them for his daughter, and give them to her when she wants to eat them. He shifted his position, sat down next to Cen Erniang, and took her trembling little body into his arms, "You have suffered this time!" However, seeing that you are safe and sound, it can be regarded as a big stone in your heart as a father. Mama Shen died to protect you, I know you are sad, but you also have to take care of yourself......"
"Father!" Cen Erniang withdrew from Cen Erye's arms with a pair of red eyes, "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself." I'm not going to let those people get their way! I will come out of this mountain alive, find the nearest yamen, and denounce them. I'm going to pay for the lives of Mama and the dart masters who died protecting us! β
"Not bad! Let them pay for their lives! Lin Wuye swallowed seven or eight fruits in one go, and burped, he heard Cen Erniang's words, and said angrily: "Those eight kings, dare to attack our dart game, kill my Lin Wuye's brother, and when Lao Tzu recovers, he will definitely peel the skin of those eight kings!" β
When Miao Da, Ning Laoqi, and Zhao Heimian heard this, they all raised their arms and shouted: "Kill him!" β
Before they became dart masters, they were all mixed with the rivers and lakes, and their hands were also contaminated with human life. Even if he later entered the Hongwei Dart Bureau and washed his hands and no longer committed murder, it was not that he would not kill. And because of their experience in the rivers and lakes, Lin Wuye and the three of them actually don't have a good impression of the government, and they just want to send Cen Erye, Cen Erniang and Ling Feng to a safe place first, so they will take the knife and pull the brothers who are still alive, and go to those black-clothed people to take revenge.
Lin Wuye is clear about the origins of those people in black. Because when he was fighting with the men in black in the river, he tore off the veils of several people and saw their faces. There are two of them he knows, one is the second brother Feng of the Qing Gang, and the other is Zhou Tiequan of the Cao Gang. And when he, Zhao Heimian and Ning Laoqi escaped, they also heard them on the way, and among the people who chased and killed them, in addition to the Qing Gang and the Cao Gang, there were also those from the Jixiang Gambling House.
Lin Wuye thought: If you can invite the Qing Gang, the Cao Gang, and the Jixiang Gambling House, the three underground forces of Hong'an Mansion, so that these three families can send elite killers to chase and kill them, the person behind the scenes must have an extraordinary background, and this person must be the mortal enemy of Cen's family.
He regretted taking the Cen family's dart a little, but the trouble had already been provoked, and now he could only grit his teeth and persevere. Lin Wuye said in his heart: Sure enough, the silver is not easy to earn, and you have to exchange your life for it.
After getting along with the Cen family for so many days, he, Miao Da, Zhao Heimian and other brothers all appreciate and admire this family's behavior. Therefore, even if they know that there are countless chasing soldiers behind them and continue to take the Cen family with them, they are likely to be buried in this barren mountain and wilderness, and they will not be able to leave them and flee alone.
Hey, this damn soft-hearted! Lin Wuye sighed faintly in his heart, and told Second Master SΓΉcen about the discovery of himself, Ning Laoqi, and Zhao Heimian, and asked him: "Do you know, who is so capable and so generous to deal with your family?" β
"This ......" Second Grandpa Cen was confused: "I don't know ...... either" The people who hate their family the most are probably the Gao family and the Feng family, but those two women can only do things in the back house, but they don't dare and can't do this kind of murderous thing outside. They are trapped in the back house all day long, and they come and go from high-ranking families, where will they know the Cao Gang, the Qing Gang, and the Jixiang Gambling House.
"I know about ......" Cen Erniang said with a blushing face under the gaze of everyone: "It must have been done by the Gao family!" How did my father forget, Gao's poisonous woman, but she has an amazing good brother. β
Second Master Cen raised his eyebrows: "You mean Senior Uncle?" β
"He has to be." Cen Erniang asserted: "The third master of high school has been a gentleman for many years, and he doesn't know the three sects and nine streams in Hong'an Mansion?" Only he can invite the people of the Qing Gang, the Cao Gang and the Jixiang Gambling House at the same time. β
"The Gao family is really too deceitful!" Second Master Cen slammed the ground angrily, "If I had known that they were so mad, I should have exposed the poisonous woman of the Gao family that day and sent her to the government!" β
Cen Erniang didn't answer Cen Erye's words, she said to Lin Wuye: "A few uncles, this time we have caused you to be involved, as well as those uncles who died to protect us......" Cen Erniang wiped her tears and solemnly promised: "I, Cen Qingzhi, swear here, if I can escape this catastrophe, I will definitely bury them in a grand funeral and take care of their families for them." β
"Second girl! With your words...... Miao Da, Zhao Heimian, Ning Laoqi and Lin Wuye listened to Cen Erniang's words, and they all swore and said: "Even if we die, it's worth it!" β
Second Master Cen looked at Cen Erniang and Fifth Master Lin in a complicated manner, no longer thinking about the Gao family and the third master, and sighed silently: His daughter has grown her mind and her wrists are more sleek after this incident. She said those words with tears in her eyes, wasn't it just for the promise of the Fifth Master Lin to escort them to the death! He, the father, is not as thoughtful as her, the little girl who is not as thoughtful.
"What Erniang said is what I think." Cen Erniang hugged her fists and rushed at Lin Wuye and the others: "I have to work for everyone." When we escape, I promise that each of the dart masters who are with us will give five hundred taels each, and those who die will give the money to their families. Lao Annoy, the four of you, be a witness. When we are reunited as a family, I will give you all this money. β
Lin Wuye and the others were overjoyed, exchanged glances with each other, and then stood in a row, bent down to Cen Erye and Cen Erniang and thanked: "Thank you for the generosity of the second master and the second girl!" Even if we are crushed to pieces, we will keep both of you safe. β
"Wrong, it's three." Second Master Cen pointed to Ling Feng, who was trembling next to Cen Erniang, "Ling Feng is also my Cen family, and they must do their best to protect her safety." Cen Erniang nodded on the side.
When Ling Feng heard this, he looked at Cen Erye, and then looked at Cen Erniang, and suddenly his eyes were full of tears, "Second master, second girl, ......"
A thousand words were choked in her throat, and she knelt down directly to kowtow to Cen Erye and Cen Erniang. My heart was both touched and warm: the second master and the second girl treat her as family! She is really a blessing from her previous life, and she can follow such a master, and she has no regrets when she dies.
